Beaufort’s Jerry Bridges will be signing copies of his debut sci-fi/fantasy novel “Into The Lair” from 2 to 5 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 3 at The Beaufort Bookstore at 2127 Boundary Street, Unit 15.
Jamie Michelle of Readers’ Favorite, LLC reviewed Bridges’ first novel: “‘Into The Lair’ is a high fantasy military adventure situated around an elven Shala’lir warrior, his wife, and the family they build for themselves along the way. … The ending is satisfying and ties up loose ends but leaves a door open, figuratively and literally, so there’s room for more. Recommended.”
Bridges is a graduate of Louisiana State University’s School of Horticulture and has been a practicing horticulturist for nearly 40 years. He began his practice in Baton Rouge, eventually moving back to his home of Columbia. After many years there, he followed work to Beaufort.
An avid gamer, his writing is based around the magic system found in one of his favorite role-playing Games. A proud husband to Vickie for 37 years and father of four incredible children, Bridges is a committed Christian and an active member of his church choir.
